But - come to think of it - Eno's "Julie With", off "Before and After Science" is much more haunted-sea. I am on an open sea, just drifting as the hours go slowly by... .... now I wonder if we'll be seen here, Or if time has left us all alone. The still sea is darker than before... "Backwater" is also about being in a boat where something mysterious happens, but it's hardly ghostly.

I hope you have the 1st album as well, and there as several live albums from the early period, some of which are excellent. Third is also good. No Soft Machine, no Stereolab. - - Steve __________ One of the president's close acquaintances outside the White House said Mr. Bush clearly feels he has encountered his reason for being, a conviction informed and shaped by the president's own strain of Christianity.

Woo Hoo!!! Somebody is actually looking at my site! Thanks Glen. :) Actually I am changing hosting providers right now and I haven't got things loaded back up to the new server yet. (and unfortunately it's unlikely to happen this weekend either, as I'll be out of town). The other change is that I'll be moving it to it's own home, fegfotos.com, so it's not quite so tangled up with my personal stuff. I'll let everyone know next week when it's back up. ~N Who thought no-one would notice... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 10:01:54 -0400 From: "ross taylor" Subject: Re:Mind Gardens Amusement Park >There -- it's slow in the summer & I responded >to *everything* in the last digest.

OK, I'm pretty sure I've ranted about the Soft Machine here before. I'm a particular fan of Four, and can't get enough Matching Mole either -- the new Cuneiform releases sound great. Since we're on the subject of Canterbury Prog, I am going to grab you by the collar and say, YOU have got to get Khan's "Space Shanty," Gong's "Angels Egg," National Health's "Complete," all the Hatfield and The North you can find, and, for good measure, some Henry Cow and Slapp Happy. And for more info about Prog than you ever imagined could exist, point your browser at http://www.gepr.net. What? The Dukes did a video of "Mole From The Ministry"? Anybody have a copy of it?

Written by Nick Cave, it is hauntingly beautiful and eerie: "...down here...I have...starfish for eyes...." King Crimson's "Islands" has a nautical theme, sort of mock-Beatles meets Homer's "The Odyssey" meets, uh, King Crimson. The instrumental "The Sailor's Tale" has some rip-roaring Fripp guitar, and the lead track "Formentera Lady" is quite creepy.... > I'm sure there's something by Shriekback, but I can't put my finger on it > right now. Well, there's "The Underwater Boys," which may or may not be about evil drowned people, you never really know with Shriekback, do you? But I think it would be a great addition to your mix: We all know fata morgana She keeps herself to herself She likes the sound of explosions You know - some people need nothing else She has a volatile nature - Moves in a dangerous way All the creatures around her: They keep quiet, or she blows them away They sing: WHA DIDDLE IDDLE I DOH DOWN HERE - THE UNDERWATERBOYS...

And perhaps some Caravan, maybe "In The Land Of Grey And Pink," or "For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night." I see that Amazon has the Soft Machine 1 & 2 CD for $14.99. - - Steve __________ Maybe federal employees shouldn't get the double protection of unions and civil service status. It's not an unreasonable argument. If that's what the president believes, he should send up a separate bill abolishing the civil service system. What he's doing here is just using the crushed, maimed and devastated of 9/11 to prop up Grover Norquist's federal workplace policy agenda. - Josh Marshall ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 21:32:07 -0400 From: shmac@ix.netcom.com (Scott Hunter McCleary) Subject: Ghost ship thingies/sea chanties The song French Perfume by Newfoundlanders Great Big Sea.
